Quality Control

Our Vanadium Hydride is produced and handled under stringent quality management protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and reliability. Each lot undergoes comprehensive analysis to verify critical parameters such as hydrogen content, metallic purity, and particle morphology. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing specific test results is provided with every shipment, ensuring full traceability and compliance with your technical requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and easily oxidized nature, this material must be stored under an inert atmosphere (argon or nitrogen) in a cool, dry place. Recommended storage temperature is 15-25°C. The container should be kept securely sealed when not in use to minimize exposure to air and moisture.
